When I hit the big four oh, I found that my body started to fall apart one piece at a time. My warranty had expired and there was No Extended Warranty available! This is the story of my struggle to keep it all together using spare parts and baling twine.

Bad Day No. 1 2011

Have Had Worse

Bad Day today all around. Never made it into work. Had to have a phenergan injection to stop the nausea. Finally able to keep liquids down. Hoping kidney stone #2 is now through gnawing its way through my innards. In pain from The Legs and The Belly and The Headache.

No pain meds today as I was not sure if they are increasing the head pain and nausea while decreasing others. I am hurting, but the blessing of the phenergan injection was that I slept most of the day again.

Am going to try my best to get into work tomorrow. I can't afford many of these days off. Not sure what to do. I have things that have to be done there. I was so hoping this year would be better, but so far it's not so great.

I had many more hives last night, will take some benedryl in a bit to see if I can make this crop go back to where ever hives come from. I didn't think the cyclosporin was doing anything but I might have been mistaken.

I am looking forward to getting up tomorrow and making my way to work. Hoping it will happen! Gotta get my mojo back someway this winter. Sigh.

I hope you're able to get back to work, but if it takes a while, it just means your body needs the rest. I'll add to JBR's prayers for you! The good thing about bad days is that it means good ones will follow. :)

Thanks JBR: Needed the extra hugs, my favorite uncle in the entire world - my Mom's youngest brother (which would make him about 76) passed away this morning. Just a reminder to everyone to have screening colonoscopies done after 50 and after 40 if you have colon cancer in your family! I have had 3 - they are not painful, and you don't remember anything.
